Summary

Eagle Ridge Middle School is a public magnet middle school located in Savage, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 644 students. The school is part of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, which is ranked 334 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eagle Ridge Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota middle schools, with proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading assessments significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 21.43% in Math and 33.74% in Reading, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, who rank in the bottom 25-30% of Minnesota middle schools in these categories. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the fluctuating student-teacher ratio at Eagle Ridge Middle School may be contributing to the school's relatively low academic performance.

In contrast, nearby schools in the Lakeville Area Schools and Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools districts consistently outperform Eagle Ridge Middle School on academic measures and have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Analyzing the successful strategies and best practices of these higher-performing nearby schools could provide valuable insights for Eagle Ridge Middle School to enhance its educational programs and support for students.
